Computational Problems in Metric Fixed Point Theory and their Weihrauch Degrees
We study the computational difficulty of the problem of finding fixed points
of nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. We show that the
fixed point sets of computable nonexpansive self-maps of a nonempty, computably
weakly closed, convex and bounded subset of a computable real Hilbert space are
precisely the nonempty, co-r.e. weakly closed, convex subsets of the domain. A
uniform version of this result allows us to determine the Weihrauch degree of
the Browder-Goehde-Kirk theorem in computable real Hilbert space: it is
equivalent to a closed choice principle, which receives as input a closed,
convex and bounded set via negative information in the weak topology and
outputs a point in the set, represented in the strong topology. While in finite
dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces, computable nonexpansive mappings
always have computable fixed points, on the unit ball in infinite-dimensional
separable Hilbert space the Browder-Goehde-Kirk theorem becomes
Weihrauch-equivalent to the limit operator, and on the Hilbert cube it is
equivalent to Weak Koenig's Lemma. In particular, computable nonexpansive
mappings may not have any computable fixed points in infinite dimension. We
also study the computational difficulty of the problem of finding rates of
convergence for a large class of fixed point iterations, which generalise both
Halpern- and Mann-iterations, and prove that the problem of finding rates of
convergence already on the unit interval is equivalent to the limit operator.Comment: 44 page
Local Analysis of Inverse Problems: H\"{o}lder Stability and Iterative Reconstruction
We consider a class of inverse problems defined by a nonlinear map from
parameter or model functions to the data. We assume that solutions exist. The
space of model functions is a Banach space which is smooth and uniformly
convex; however, the data space can be an arbitrary Banach space. We study
sequences of parameter functions generated by a nonlinear Landweber iteration
and conditions under which these strongly converge, locally, to the solutions
within an appropriate distance. We express the conditions for convergence in
terms of H\"{o}lder stability of the inverse maps, which ties naturally to the
analysis of inverse problems
